  1. 1

    Sauté the scallions and spinach until wilted. Drain excess liquid thoroughly by squeezing in a towel.

  3. 3

    Brush a 9x13 dish with oil. Layer half of the phyllo sheets in the bottom, brushing each individual sheet with oil.

  4. 4

    Spread the spinach filling evenly over the phyllo base.

  5. 5

    Top with the remaining phyllo sheets, again brushing each layer with oil.

  6. 6

    Score the top layers into squares and at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes until golden and crisp.
